I really want to use this module! But I have a rather, bang head against desk client needs this no matter what request.
I understand the caption information is being generated from text in the description field after upload but it apparently does not recognize html markup.

I just want to allow for one thing: The ability to add a <br /> to start a new line. This is necessary for a nice presentation of

[image title]
[description]
[date]

I know this really isn't a problem with Galleria module ... that its a support request for upload.module but I just wanted to know if there was some way to alter the input format of that description field through this module. I've tried to create a hook form alter to no avail.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions to fix this.

The problem is that the Galleria jQuery plugin uses the 'title' of the image to make the caption. E.g.

<img src="image.jpg" title="This is a picture of my dog"></img>

Now, you can't put line breaks in there. You can't have HTML inside an attribute.

You have a few options, either hunt around here http://devkick.com/lab/galleria/ for clues on how to change this, or make a custom approach to captions.

I had this need too. Here's how I made:

- In the galleria folder, find the file inc/jquery.galleria.js and go to this line (in the version Galleria 1.0-rc2, it's the line 311):

_wrapper.siblings('.caption').text(_thumb.attr('title'));

and change it for:

_wrapper.siblings('.caption').html(unescape(_thumb.attr('title')));

That worked like a charm! I went in a different direction but now I think I'll rework it in!
Thanks a lot :)
